GDC 2001: CMX 2002 Hands-on

Share.

Doesn't quite have the graphical panache of ATV yet, but the physics are pretty damn tight.

One of the few playable games for PlayStation 2 at the Game Developers Conference was THQ's upcoming CMX 2002. The game was obviously still pretty early, so the graphics still were a bit unimpressive, as the dirt effects and tracks didn't look to be in the same class as Rainbow Studios' ATV Offroad Fury.

However, the game showed some promise because it offered up solid control and excellent racing physics. You could actually feel your rear tire slipping on some turns and the general reactions of the bikes were right on. The game still needs a lot of work, but it holds a lot of potential.
